It doesn't know anything about curses, nor termcap, and there are a whole load of different implementations which might be linked in, as we've been seeing recently. So there's no simple way of knowing whether TERMINFO is relevant at all. I suppose there's nothing to stop us doing some more implementation-specific probing, now we have separate termcap and terminfo modules, and shovelling some extra code into those, linking in the appropriate version when necessary (echotc and echoti already depend on the respective modules). -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
